*** Note: You will always receive the brand battery you order. BatteriesASAP.com will never substitute your order with another brand without your consent. We sell only name brand quality batteries with a proven history and the highest safety standards. You will always get what you pay for, never a bait and switch with substandard batteries that can sometimes be unreliable or even dangerous. All batteries are new and factory fresh with 1 year Mfg. warranty! Suitable crosses are the same in voltage but may vary in amp hour (AH) capacity. Dimensions are usually within tenths of an inch. If the battery is a tight fit in your application, it is recommended that you check the dimensions carefully or purchase the direct replacement battery.

How does the Ah (Amp Hour) rating affect a battery? The Ah (Amp Hour) rating is the capacity of the battery. It is like the size of the gas tank in your car. The larger Ah ratings will give more runtime. It is common to replace a 12V 4Ah battery with a 12V 5Ah battery in alarm systems and UPS Systems.

If you do not see the battery you are seeking on this website please call 800-706-7009. We can supply most major brand Batteries and UPS Systems.

Texas Customers Battery Sales Fee: Because we are located in Texas we are required by Texas law to collect a battery sales fee for batteries over 10Ah shipped to any address located in Texas. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality uses revenue from the battery fee for many programs that help protect the state’s environment. The fee is $2.00 per battery for less than 12-volt batteries 10Ah and above and $3.00 per battery for 12 Volt or more 10Ah and above. Due to limitations on this Yahoo site we are unable to automatically calculate these charges. If you are ordering batteries shipping to an address in Texas, please place a note in the comments section that it is “OK to add Texas State Battery Sales Fee”. If this is not included in comments the order may be held until we contact you and get approval. Resellers may be exempt if they collect and report fee to the state. Please call 800-706-7009 if there are any questions or for exemption.

Drop Shipments / Partial shipments: BatteriesASAP stocks most of the batteries we offer in our warehouse located in Dallas, Texas. On occasion there will be a need to drop ship your order from the manufacturer for one of the following reasons; we have sold out of our stock or, large quantity orders that exceed what we have in stock. If 2 or more different products are ordered and we are out of stock on a given product it may partial ship from our warehouse and a manufacturers warehouse. In general if you receive a conformation e-mail stating, “ Will ship in 2-3 days ”, it is likely the product is being drop shipped from the manufacturer. There may be a delay in getting a tracking number but product should ship as expected. Currently we stock and ship approximately 90% of the orders from our warehouse in Dallas.

Backorders: From time to time a manufacturer will run out of stock and will cause us to backorder the product until the manufacturer receives their stock.

You may elect to wait for the product to arrive, accept a substitute or cancel the order.

Battery Reminder: The average life expectancy of most standby batteries is between 3-5 years. At the 3-year mark it is likely the battery is losing capacity causing low reliability and by the 5-year mark complete failure may occur. Please note in the comments section when placing your order if you would like to be reminded in 3 years that your battery needs replacement. Please note the type of equipment such as home alarm, UPS, emergency lighting etc. You can also include the serial number of the equipment (optional). There is no charge for this service.

Are your Batteries Bad?

Batteries may still read the proper voltage with a volt meter when under charge or off charge even when they are bad. To properly test a battery it should be done with either a load on it or by using battery-testing equipment.

Batteries used in most standby equipment such as UPS systems, emergency lighting, alarm systems, etc. will have a low voltage disconnect (LVD) that will disconnect the battery from being discharged below 87.5% of nominal voltage.

Example; 4-12V batteries in series will produce 48 Volts. 48 X 87.5% =42V This string will be disconnected from the circuit from the LVD at 42V.

Never replace a partial string of batteries! This is not an old wives tale, it's true! When you put new batteries in a string with old batteries they will take on the characteristics of the older batteries and will require replacement much sooner and cost more in the long run. The charger will see the string as a single battery and older batteries may cause over or under charging of the new batteries causing premature failure. It will also cause the equipment to be less reliable.

Attention: Lead prices are rising! In the past year costs of lead have risen over 120%. So far we have seen up to 4 price increases for some manufacturers this year alone. All of the manufacturers we carry have or are increasing their prices again this month or in months to come! We are doing our best to keep prices down but have been forced to raise prices accordingly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you will continue to let us supply you with your battery needs.
